Squee!

I get to discuss "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson with my students tomorrow. I'm so excited that I can't sleep. I should be sleeping. I have to wake up in less than 6 hours. But Shirley Jackson haunts me! She's so good. That opening paragraph from The Haunting of Hill House is so well crafted; I think I must have read it about a hundred times in one semester a couple of years ago.

Okay, off to bed I go...to dream of stones...
